Media enquiries

Two of The London Clinic's leading neurological consultants, Dr Binith Cheeran and Mr Erlick Pereira, have been describing the benefits of deep brain stimulation (DBS) treatment for a leading health conference in Dubai.

Deep brain stimulation is a procedure in which stimulating electrodes are placed into the deep structures of the brain.

The electrodes are connected to an implanted pulse generator which is battery powered. Selected patients with treatment resistant movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, tremor and dystonia can benefit from deep brain stimulation (DBS).
